We are looking for someone who works well as part of a team, thinks critically about your practice and is committed to helping people live the best lives possible. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and are passionate about strengths-based, person-centred practice we would welcome your application.

You will be suitably qualified with up-to-date professional registration and have a good working knowledge of the Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005 and data protection requirements.
